Smiling when you feel so sad

Despite hardships, you still raise your head

Getting up every single day

Trying to keep sorrows at bay

When all you want is to be alone

And feel you won’t cope on your own

Laughing when you just want to cry

Sometimes trying hard not to die

Facing old fears you thought were past

And realising they’re all here to last

Trusting when you’ve been betrayed

After all the kindness you displayed

Keeping a generous and loving heart

When the world seems to fall apart

Taken by the cruel, greedy and fake

You still choose not to let yourself break

There is no biggest bravery after all

Than resist evilness and stand tall

When you can so easily give in

You opt for benevolence with a grin.
